Algorithm Names

[scorpiuss]

Hi,
Just wondering if there are names for little algorithms such (RUR'U') for memorizing these pieces of algorithms better or one could name them for himself and there is not any standard names.
Thanks.

 

[cubecraze1]

Yeah, that's well known as "sexy" or "sexy move".

 

[scorpiuss]

That's great
Sorry, I'm so beginner, Googled and couldn't find a reference for such thing, is there any reference for
those names?
sorry for posting again, I don't really know if I could/couldn't post in one-answer section again.
and if there is "Solved" marks for threats so I can mark threads as solved.
Thanks a lot!

They're called triggers, but some triggers (such as R U R' U) have been given names such as "sexy."

And just in case you need it, here are the guidelines for this section of the forum.

Thanks cubecraze1 and 00.
BTW that guidelines link gave me an error.

Some common triggers:

[R U R' U'] - Sexy
[R' F R F'] - Sledgehammer
[F R' F' R] - Hedgeslammer (not super common)

These don't have names but are extremely common:
R U R'
R U R' U
R U2 R'
R U' R'
R U R' F'
And portions of sledgehammer and hedgeslammer.

Edit: sqAree mentioned another one, so I threw it on there. I can't insert a quote while editing a post

Also R U R' F' but I don't think it has a name.

Also R U R' F' but I don't think it has a name.

I just call it the J perm trigger because the J perm starts with it.

I think this should work. I apologize for the error.

so here's what I call these

R U R' [right flick]
R U R' U [right flick] U
R U2 R' [right evil join] (right join is R' U2 R)
R U' R' [right insert]
R U R' F' [yay]
